today when i got home from a ride, i noticed that my front fork was kinda bouncy. then i realized that i can bottom out the fork just by pushing down on it a little, and i only weight 140 lbs. is it normal for the GS`s front to be that loose or is there somehting wrong with my fork?

never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly... or 10 mph over the speed limit if you like your license.

If it has the stock internals, yes, it's normal.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

stock is crap but i wouldn't think it should be that loose.  Put some 15w in the forks.
